fix: show real image dimensions in right pane for DNG/RAW files

The preview endpoint now returns X-Original-Width/Height headers with
dimensions read from Sharp metadata (or ExifTool for RAW files). The
frontend stores these in FileEntry and the ImageViewer prefers them over
the browser's naturalWidth/naturalHeight, which reflects the resized
preview rather than the original sensor dimensions.
